Rob is easy to work with, speaks in plain english, and is very patient. His documents were challenged by a very high power firm (and a very bad apple franchisee) and we won at every turn with our local attorney. This is something you hope you never have to do is find out if your documents will hold up, well Rob's did at every turn!

Rob Vinson has been the absolute key to our success with franchising. We know our business inside and out; however, franchising is a completely separate business with many obstacles that you will never anticipate. We have been doing business with Mr. Vinson for more than 14 years and he has been a life saver. He provides detailed breakdowns of… any situation you may face as well as support every step of the way. We have faced some very interesting challenges and, with Rob Vinson’s help, we have come away from all of them smoothly. We have learned so much from him and are so entirely

Rob Vinson represented our franchising company for six years. He was prompt and thorough. He prepared our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) each year and was available for queries and transaction related issues. Mr. Vinson is also knowledgeable about mergers and acquisitions. He was a key contributor when we sold our business. I recommend him without reservation.

Rob Vinson is a lawyer who knows the franchising business backwards. His fees are very reasonable and, because he works one on one with his clients, he builds a personal relationship with them making him an integral member of the team. Unlike the public image of lawyers, Rob is honest and has the integrity to advise when matters are outside of his… field of expertise instead of him pretending to be the knowledge on all matters pertaining to the law and giving you advice on matters he is not an expert in! I have no hesitation in recommending Rob Vinson in the capacity of Franchise Law!

I found out about Rob Vinson through a search online after consulting with a few local attorneys that specializes in franchising. Coming from no experience in franchising and having limited business knowledge, Rob made my experience of starting our franchise system manageable. Rob was very patient and was there every step of the way. He was ready and willing to answer any questions, whether it is complex or small. I felt comfortable and never felt rushed throughout the whole experience. To this day, I still use Rob's services for changes to our filings and for general legal counsel. I would

I have been working with Rob now for about 4 months and with 4 different types of contracts. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and prepared agreements for me with confidence. I truly would recommend him to any one that is in search of an attorney to do business licensing or Franchising.

Rob Vinson is very knowledgeable, communicates well, provides sound advice and is readily available. I highly recommend Rob when it comes to franchising questions and the legal process. Our organization has worked with Rob on this topic for several years across several projects and he is always professional, clear, and dependable.
